      "Deforestation is one of the biggest causes of the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing up to 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, the world’s forests preserve an enormous quantity of carbon in the soil – estimated at around 500 billion tonnes – with the great majority located in tropical rainforests. The main driver of deforestation is commercial agriculture, fuelled by the growing demand for key natural resources. Knowing the origins of the raw materials is the first step in stopping the deforestation process."

      2017, "For Scope 3 GHG calculations the sources are mainly commercial databases (i.e. Ecoinvent 3.1, IEA) as well as some specific datasets developed internally. The emission factors related to the conversion of energy from fuels come from the UNFCCC Italian inventory."
      "Emissions for which we have indirect responsibility (Scope 3) were equal to 5,344,735 tonnes of CO2,or 90.8% of total emissions, whilst the cultivation and production of agricultural raw materials is our biggest source of environmental impact (64.7%)."
